The local yokels

[avalen]

little local birds that run around....Gambles quail, they are absolutely adorable
with their little families when they have chicks. They will only fly at the last
minute, I'm always afraid I'll run over them on the road so I always brake for
the ones that don't run so fast.

I, too, love the quail. At my son's home near Sacramento, CA, he has an open field behind his home and it's always alive with these cuties..also turkeys.
